Clay Aiken became a first time father today when his BFF, music producer Jaymes Foster, gave birth to a boy in his hometown of North Carolina.

Friends say Aiken’s biological clock was ticking and he wanted to become a father before he was 30. And since he didn’t have the necessary equipment to accomplish his goal – and by him being strickly dickly, he asked his friend to provide the eggs.

“HE’S HERE!” Aiken proclaimed in a posting on his blog. “My dear friend, Jaymes, and I are so excited to announce the birth of Parker Foster Aiken (No hyphens. One first name. One middle name. One last name.)”

How gay.
